A wonderful Q&A with Keir and Gary at the TIFF for a retrospective on the films of Stanley Kubrick focusing in on 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. I love the interplay between them. It’s so natural and so cute of two men who have been friends forever. Once again Keir tells us about his airlock scene, and the dialogue Stanley didn’t use in the film. I loved Keir’s comment about Alzheimer’s. Proves at 78 he’s still got his faculties all in place. I just adored this talk. Thanks to my home country of Canada and the great city of Toronto for hosting this and for inviting two of the most underrated actors alive to discuss this great film. Now if they could only do a respective of the films of Ridley Scott, I’d be real happy. The did briefly mention Keir’s reprisal of Dave Bowman in the Peter Hayams sequel 2010: ODYSSEY TWO. My only gripe would have to be the Q&A wasn’t long enough. Of course I’m a little bit selfish. I could listen to Keir speak non-top. I love his voice.

BLACK CHRISTMAS as been chosen by The Chicago Film Critics’ Association as one of the scariest films of all time. It made number 49 in the list, though I would have placed it higher due to how much it influenced films in the genre such as Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, Saw, etc. For me personally, I’d have put it higher on the list. But then no one asked me, right?

This is exciting. Keir’s films are slowly coming out on Blu Ray. This time it’s BUNNY LAKE IS MISSING. The extras are a bit thin, but the real bummer is there’s an audio commentary that Keir is not on. I loved his and Gary Lockwood’s (Frank Poole) on 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. Too bad they couldn’t get him for this one. Read on.

Carol Lynley in Bunny Lake is Missing

Bunny’s script by John and Penelope Mortimer presents a dodgy kind of thriller, in which the central damsel in distress (Carol Lynley, Harlow)—a mother who claims that her child has been snatched from school—may be mad, joining the ranks of eccentrics who surround her.

The film also stars Keir Dullea (2001: A Space Odyssey) as the heroine’s devoted brother, and Laurence Olivier (Richard III) as a steady-on police inspector, giving one of the more sneakily larcenous performances of his illustrious career. The whole movie is wrapped in a seductive score by Paul Glass, available on this Twilight Time release as an isolated track.

This Twilight Time is the Blu-ray debut of Bunny Lake is Missing and contains the following special features:

• Isolated score track
• Audio commentary with film historians Lem Dobbs, Julie Kirgo, and Nick Redman
• Original theatrical trailers
• Liner notes by Julie Kirgo
